Mountain Running Skills
This clinic is a great next step to learn and develop your existing mountain running skills, to help you access the higher mountains more safely or to help you plan for bigger mountain running events.
The clinic will not only give you a great run in some of the most beautiful mountains in Britain, but will also dip into some coaching on your own personal running technique, as well as covering various aspects of being out in the bigger mountains and managing that environment and yourself more safely. We'll cover topics such as safety gear, general navigation using a map, terrain management, route finding through broken ground, mountain risk and awareness and planning for bigger events.
The clinic will be -
9am to 12.30pm - Sunday Morning
We would all like this event to be as Covid Secure as possible.
Even though all the clinic's will be outdoors, can we kindly ask each person attending to complete a Covid test at least 72 hours before arriving.
Even with a negative result, if you do have any Covid related symptons then please don't come, and we'll welcome you back next year - Many thanks
